Kinetic Terms for 2-Forms in Four Dimensions

Abstract

We study the general form of the possible kinetic terms for 2-form fields in four dimensions, under the restriction that they have a semibounded energy density. This is done by using covariant symplectic techniques and generalizes previous partial results in this direction.
